The pirates have stolen some ancient books from the palace of the emperor of the kingdom of yue. The narrator tells the audience that the ancient books were written in simplified Chinese and that the narrator has read through them. He tells them that the book is written by the emperor, who is also the daughter of a general and his wife. She tells the pirates that the emperor is the owner of a city boundary map and that she can get back the map. The pirates ask the narrator if she is feeling well, and the narrator says that she is not feeling well. According to the ancient story, the emperor has been exiled in the kingdom and has become a slave to a little slave, who has been plundered by the pirates. The little slave is pale and has a tear mole on his forehead. The general tells the narrator that if he offends the general, he will suffer. He says that if the general dies, the map of the city will also be lost. The father of the little slave interrupts the father's conversation to say that the general is seriously sick and that his majesty has escaped. He asks the father to calm down, but the father says that he would have killed the man if he dared to lie. He then tells the father that the masked man has burst into his room and said that the king is sick, and that he had no choice except to break in to the room and break the man's window. He wants to know if the man is his daughter, and if he was caught by the general as a slave, and almost died because of him. The man says that the young man is still too young to understand the meaning of the ancient book, so he cannot get back to the modern times.
